Deceptively, mysteriously simple

As someone who trains others in spiritual direction, I love this book. I consider it to be a great 'beginning book' by a master! It is deceptively simple to read, but has great depth. The wisdom of a master resonates throughout. The chapter "How Do We Know?The Nature of Spiritual Experience" provides a model, that is not limited to a particular religious tradition, for how to conceptualize the relationship between spiritual experience and theology. This is invaluable for those interested in building bridges between traditions and providing inter-faith spiritual direction. For beginners, this book is a jewel! And even those who are experienced can always learn something from a master!
